Recent advancements in concrete technology have led to the development of new materials in order to meet the urgent environmental needs. The need to reduce CO2 emissions has led to the popularity of geopolymer binders as a viable alternative to ordinary Portland cement. Additionally, the search for more durable and long-lasting structures that can reduce maintenance costs has led to the development of very high-performance concretes (VHPFRC) with added fibers. The aim of this research is to design and mechanically characterize both geopolymer concrete mix and VHPFRC mix, which cover different aspects of the same goal - making concrete a sustainable material.

Abstract
Recent advancements in concrete technology have led to the development of new materials in order to meet the urgent environmental needs. The need to reduce CO2 emissions has led to the popularity of geopolymer binders as a viable alternative to ordinary Portland cement. Additionally, the search for more durable and long-lasting structures that can reduce maintenance costs has led to the development of very high-performance concretes (VHPFRC) with added fibers. The aim of this research is to design and mechanically characterize both geopolymer concrete mix and VHPFRC mix, which cover different aspects of the same goal - making concrete a sustainable material.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
